yes, please save me

>>75335510
Bad calls happen, but we have video replay to correct a lot of them and bad calls for strikes and balls usually go both ways. Welcome aboard friend.

>>75335553
Thanks bud, looking forward to my first baseball game ever

>>75335328
Try to be a little bit more cerebral in future posts but otherwise it's a good start.

>>75335598
Please try to ignore Tampa's monstrosity of a stadium, fandom, and team in general. The Rays are a national embarrassment and shouldn't tarnish your first impressions of the sport.

>The club is a charter member of the American League
that is neat
>one of four clubs (with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians) still located in its original city

BUT THAT IS AWESOME, dubs be blessed for ever

>>75335793
Yeah the local community is a big thing for Detroit sports actually. We are a sporting town, even if a lot of our teams suck at the time being.

>>75335793
No pro sports team has ever left Detroit

MIGGY GONNA MIG

NICE ONE

GO TIGERS

>>75335828
>>75335916
i really do like loyalty, gotta stick to the local community, that's how it should be

>>75335963
The Tigers are loyal to their players too. Ownership literally just views the team as a hobby and will pay shitloads of money to keep their star players despite the team only being an upper-mid market team. They spend Nee York/LA/Chicago levels of money to keep their best talent in Detroit.

Like that man you just saw crush the ball 415 feet.

>>75336017
This. Cabrera is an all time great and is a tiger. I love it.

>>75336078
And he will never not be a Tiger given his contract.

truly comfy

Is this a hot gun or is Fulmer throwing harder than normal today? Every fastball is like 96-97.

What is the difference between left and right handed? How does it influence the game?

>>75336160
Is that what got you interested in the sport, Ken Burns' GOATumentary?

And why did you pick the Tigers?

>>75336160
That's the best way to enjoy baseball. Shitpost and do other things between innings.

Screw you guys, Rays would kill a Tiger IRL every time.

>>75336209
I am giving baseball a chance, dubs decided my team. Divegrass is too corrupt (Fuck FIFA & UEFA)

Everyone recommended to watch the documentary, because i honestly don't know anything about baseball.

afternoon boys

>>75336209
I recruited him in one of the semen slurping refball threads with the power of dubs

>>75336208
It's easier for a right handed hitter to hit a left handed pitcher and vice versa because due to the angle you get a much better look at the pitch. So managers will play around with matchups lile stacking their lineup with left handed hitters when a right handed pitcher is starting for the opposing team or putting in a right handed pitcher late in the game to try and get a really good right handed batter out.

Some batters can hit both right and left handed in order to take advantage of this and are called switch hitters which is a sought after skill. Victor Martinez on the Tigers is an example of a player with this skill, not all hitters can.

>>75336259
wow you picked the best team to watch in all of baseball

if you need a rundown on ANYTHING just let me know. i got you covered on team past 5 years history, good/bad players, potential trades, farm system, thread drama and past/present tripcode users

>>75336259
>>75336274
Tigers are definitely a good choice. They're a good team that are always exciting due to an above average offense and near constant bullpen spaghetti.

And Ken Burns Baseball is fucking fantastic.

>>75336285
>managers will play around with matchups lile stacking their lineup with left handed hitters when a right handed pitcher is starting
aaaah i understand
>switch hitters
interesting, i like those tactical thoughts

Jones has been looking overmatched in recent games. Can't wait until we get JD Martinez back.

Mahtook has been garbage too.

>>75336451
Glad to see some genuine interest in the MLB outside of the US.

>>75336451
yeah you'll come to learn baseball really isnt too complicated outside of meme advanced stats that you should stay away from

>>75336355
There are also effects on the running game too: for instance it's easier to steal second when a right handed pitcher is on the mound than when a left handed pitcher is as the right handed pitcher will have his back to the runner.

Baseball is an incredibly nuanced sport strategy wise once you dive into it. As you'd expect for a game people have been perfecting for 130 years.

relatively low-risk move to add some depth to the outfield. upton could have been moved and we'd have to rely on collins/jones to play there full-time which could be just as equally risky. plus, mahtook has a minor league option available so i'd imagine once JD returns we'll see him get sent down since collins/romine are doing well in the mean time

The only Tigers doc i could find is on the 60s riots and the hand the Tigers played in calming detroit down. It is probably too much for a non-American because it involved a national cultural, racial backdrop that is interesting to learn about but outside the scope of "tigers fandom."

all you need to know is that one of the players named Willie Horton ran into the street with his uniform on and stood on a car and tried to get people to settle down and that's why his number is now retired. A year later, the tigers won the world series and supposedly calmed the city down

>>75336710
i would honestly rather take romine than jimenez at the moment, the bullpen is shaky but there's some wiggle room there. young kid still has a lot of work left to do, i realllly dont want to see him get rushed like rondon and turn to shit it would really suck

Castellanos' huge weakness is that breaking pitch into the dirt. Kluber raped him with it and other pitchers always get him to chase that shit.

>>75336754
I'm saying send Mahtook down, not Romine. Obviously you keep Romine.

And I don't think Rondon's problem was he was rushed, his problem is he's a fat lazy fuck who doesn't put any work in to get better.

How many times has he been sent down now for being a fat piece of shit with no work ethic? Two, three?

>>75338106
we only traded a half year of cesp tho

>>75338087
Because the Mets are stupid. Very very stupid. But he wasn't RoY yet.

Tropicana is probably the 2nd worst. o.co coliseum is worse.

Move this team now

Germanbro you'll also get to learn the differences in ballparks. As you can tell, every stadium has pros and cons.

For example, Coors field is notorious for inflating the hitting numbers of the batters there since the altitude makes the ball fly. In turn, pitching is more difficult. Also, Camden Yards is a sandbox where the Orioles just blast home runs all the time. Yankee stadium has a short right field.

>>75338485
Thanks friend, i am enjoying it desu

>There are a bunch of nice guys in these Tigers threads

All ballparks are different. There are very loose guidelines that have to be followed lile the distance to the left/right field lines and straight away center but other than that you can do whatever you want.

>>75338674
didn't they get rid of tal's hill this year?

>>75338723
The bases need to be 90 feet apart, pitching rubber 60 ft 6 in from home plate etc.

However, your outfield wall dimensions aren't as exact.

Even the rules aren't the same between the National League and the American League. One imposes a "Designated Hitter" and the other makes the pitcher bat. (notice how Fulmer hasn't batted at all)

>>75338791
If they did I didn't know about it. Haven't played them yet so I haven't seen a game there.

This is curious to me and hurts my ORDNUNG, but i get it. So many different facets in this sport.

Why does Avila keep calling for this same shitty sllider?

>>75338893
>lol dude he calls great games xD

>>75338893
why is fulmer's slider so shit

I see ya Upton

>>75338915

Thank you based Upton

Don't worry, based brad will save us

>>75338930
Because it has been all game. Maybe don't call it when you're ahead of batters and maybe don't set up right in the middle of the plate since you know that pitch isn't working for him right now?

His changeup has been good all game. If you want an offspeed in that situation then call that.

What are the cons and pros of the comerica?

V-Mart looks fucking fat

>>75339060
it's a big field but we have big hitters

incoming dp

>>75339060
>cons
Big outfield sometimes robs dingers for Tigers players
>pros
Big outfield sometimes robs dingers of opposing players

That's about it.

>>75339060
Massive outfield and if you can fit it in the gaps btween the outfielders, you have opportunities for triples (getting all the way to third base on a hit)

It doesn't have any extremes like some other parks.

>>75339060
Ty Cobb's statue doesn't depict him punching a man.

>In contrast to Tiger Stadium, which had long been considered one of the most hitter-friendly parks in baseball, Comerica Park is considered to be extremely friendly to pitchers.

I know people say it is overhyped, but my favorite ballpark I have been to was Pac Bell (now AT&T ballpark) which is of the San Fransisco Giants. It sits right on the bay, so it is a nice sight.

Great American Ball Park (Cincinnati reds) was also nice. It has this area where you can sit and eat and overlook the river it sits on.

PNC (pittsburgh pirates) is decent too.

Any update on J.D. by the way?

>>75339169
It's middle of the pack in terms of offense now. Comerica used to have an even bigger outfield when it was first built but they moved the fences in since then.

It's still very large though so while it may take away homers from time to time it will also give you more doubles and triples.

>>75339168
kek

>>75339169
Yup it is a pitcher friendly park. So is Petco Park (San Diego)

Damn i feel like Alice, falling down the rabbit hole.

It's like a different world to me.

Anything short of stabbing the fielder should be allowed. If it was good enough for Cobb it's good enough for these pussies.

Thank you based umps

That's what you get for being fags Tampon

>>75339516
I agree as long as you slide to where you can touch the bag with an arm or something, you should be able to take the infielders out.

Hahaha
call will stand

>germanbro got to experience his first video review to make sure a call was correct

Now imagine if Real Madrid and Bayern did that today.

>>75339582

>>75339602

>>75339279
Thank you based lion dog of good fortune give us one more please

Fuck.

Germanbro, you see the foul territory in this park and Comerica? (the territory outside of the white chalk lines where a ball isn't fair)

That place where Oakland plays at has a HUGE foul territory. Just another difference between the parks.

>you should be able to grab the fielder's arm

You know what would be swell? If at least one of these assholes would shorten their swings with two strikes.

>>75339702
>sliding like a normal person
>wasn't even looking at the fielder

Wasn't deliberate

>>75339702
It's literally a baserunner's job to interfere with the fielder on that play. Stop looking for the umps to bail you out and get the fuck out of the way like everyone else has had to do for the past 130 years.

Great link, thanks. Getting tired, so i will check this later.

Kyle Ryan is such dogshit honestly.

TBF, I don't disagree with either of you, but it's funny to see you two take the opposite sides of the argument.

You guys are by far the good guys of the AL East. Good luck the rest of the season against all those faggots in that division.

>>75340273
>Where are all my frens
You had one on the mound

Of all the terrible bullpens the Tigers have put on there over the years is this actually the worst? Because it legitimately seems like the worse.

I'd put money that you could get six or seven homeless guys off the street and they would have a lower collective ERA than this shitshow.

And why the fuck hasn't a Wilson been pitching this inning from the start? They had a day off yesterday. Why the fuck would you pitch Kyle Ryan?

either our starters go out with a lead and we put wilson twins in or we lose.

that's not a winning strategy and we should probably sell before deadline but they won't and that's cool too.

>>75340383
was actually worse last year with Lowe lol.

HAHA and now Green can't throw strikes!

>>75340383
I honestly think this might be the worst pen. Todd Jones and friends near the end were pretty fucking garbage too.

was he seriously complaining about that strike? it was the one before that was questionable

>>75340417
There are a few guys in our pen that come in and just throw balls. It is unbelievable how these guys have a job.

>>75340347

Same to you in the AL central. Seriously, fuck the TX rags.

>>75340448
Todd Jones was nowhere near as bad as this disgrace.

>>75340383
>>75340448
it's really not that bad if you have wilson/wilson/krod.

i mean christ, would you rather have soria/rondon/lowe/nathan/coke??

>>75340519
Who was the more insufferable tiger? Nathan or Fielder? Cannot stand either of those faggots.

>>75340545
probably fielder desu, nathan sucked but at least he seemed to be fun off the field in the clubhouse and did some charity work in the detroit area

>>75340519
What good is having the Wilsons when Brad doesn't use them in games like today? They had a day off yesterday.

That was a racist strike call. Clearly.

Remember when Ugeth Urbina was our closer? Yeah I don't want to remember those bullpen days either.

How can these front office guys never address this shit?

>>75340567
eh beats me, maybe he feels like it's a lost cause and wants to save them for tomorrow? no idea

>>75340596
Urbina was good before he lit that guy on fire.

>mft we traded him for placedo polanco and then he got sent to prison

>>75340567

it's actually the gameplan every day. starters not winning? then give up. i'm not trying to be a sad fag, it's mostly the state of the pen

I actually don't mind it all that much

>>75340701
What I do mind is that Kyle Ryan is currently a Detroit Tiger.

Where the fuck were you on that one Avila?

>So wait, the Rays claimed this fat fuck with the 2.8 era and a 98 mph fastball off the waiver wire?

>Where the fuck were you on that one Avila?

Why did I laugh so much at this? You just know if that fat fuck was signed by us that he would have a 6 ERA and would be walking everyone.

Are we cursed? Is our pitching coaches incompetent? Clearly not because our rotation is usually good.

Who the fuck is this guy and who did they demote to make room for him?

>8 runs in 9 IP last year

About average for our pen kek

>>75341023
I'm going to guess they demoted that worthless fuck William "88 mph fastball" Cuevas

>>75341127
Oh the useless piece of shit we burned one of Jimenez' options for? Fucking great.

>>75341172

I think they have some sort of thing where they can get more club control out of Jimenez by doing it. Didn't the Cubs do that with Kris Bryant even though he was clearly MLB ready?

Anyway, it seems Al Avila is pretty shit.

reminder we are spending $52 mil on sanchez, victor and zim zam this year

>>75341207
How could you possibly get more club control by burning a minor league option?

Oh good, the new guy can't throw strikes either.

Alright, Rays bro out. As I said earlier, good luck to the Tigers in the AL central this year. Please fuck over the rags in every opportunity.

>>75341245
we get control for another year if he doesn't play a certain number of games before some date in july

What is that jingling at the Rays home games?
